Family sharing and personal backups have improved how I manage and access my files anywhere
I am not fond of their syncing. Their file syncing is very clunky, so I am not a real fan of the file syncing. I think Box does a much better job of the syncing of data onto desktops and laptops. When you try to sync the files in Dropbox, it actually puts a copy of the file on your laptop, so it sucks up all of your memory. Whereas with Box, I can sync files into my file explorer and it is still cloud-based. They have not saved the file physically onto my laptop. They save it in the cloud and it just does a temporary download and then it uploads again, but that file is not saved on my laptop. Whereas with Dropbox, anytime you want to sync on your laptop, it actually does save it. There is a way to set it up, but it takes a lot more work and effort and I have never been able to get it to work the way I want it to work. So I just do not sync my files with Dropbox on my laptop. That limits my ability to use Dropbox from my work laptop because my work laptop just does not have any memory at all on it. They give the bare minimum of memory and say that it should all be in the cloud anyway, so you do not need to have that much storage space. So I cannot even access Dropbox from my work laptop and have to use the browser version of Dropbox if I need to access my Dropbox from my work laptop. Within the company, it is a personal choice. Our company has not dictated what cloud service to use. As long as it has all the security measures that meet the standards of our IT department, anyone can use whatever cloud service they want. For example, our company is not allowed to use Google because Google is not a secure cloud service in the estimation of our IT department. So there are cloud services that we are not allowed to use, but from the five to seven different services that they give us to choose from, we all can find what meets our needs.

Has an excellent Database Management System and high level of services, performance, and availability
We will need to implement prototypes in our data warehouse. We will have to implement and to support some different types of files like video, audio, pictures, and non-structured data. So we are working on that. We would like better integration for data security. We will have many partners, eight or nine external partners. We will still use our system to upgrade our warehouse. But with many partners, the data warehouse will not be unique. It will be a distributed data platform. So we would need and we are looking for many services to better manage the integrity and the use of all of the data. We are receiving all these data from trains and trucks that are working on the highways and on the roads. We will have to implement some facilities to adequately use all this data at a really high volume coming from IoT. So we are not choosing that and we will have to implement some services. Right now, we don't have any monitoring. We do have major density and access control, but when a user is in our environment, we do not have the services to really measure what he is doing. I will have to report in three months on the project and its evolution. I don't have the financials and the best practices regarding the financial models with costs and benefits for a major data platform with many partners. We will know what it will cost, but we will have to define some benefits because when I will be at the treasury board asking for a major project, they will ask me what would the benefits from that will be. I'm doing research into best practices. I know that the U.S. government has a platform like the one we want to build. It is a bigger one, from what I understand. I think that the state of California and maybe the state of New York has the type of platform we want to put in place. I would like to present more than just an article. I would like to have a reference model, to really be on target by showing the benefits that are possible down the road.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like the synchronization, and the integration with Microsoft Office is good."
"The search functionality and the ability to preview images are quite good."
"It ensures all our staff are using the current version of our documents."
"Dropbox is easy to use, easy to share, and easy to store documents and files."
"As the solution is cloud-based, installation is easy."
"One of the advantages of Dropbox is that you can share files with people who are external to your organization without any additional costs, and it is also easy to use, stable, and trustworthy."
"The primary standout feature for me is the effortless synchronization across various devices."
"Dropbox is easy to use; I installed it on my laptop and I just copy and paste my files into a folder, I can use the Microsoft Office package like Microsoft Office, Excel, or PowerPoint, I can edit my files easily and all of my coworkers can check them at the same time, and it's a really good option for me."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it is self-driving, self-securing, and self-repairing."
"This solution has automated protection from downtime. High-availability is built into every component, and the backups are completely automated."
"We have really high level of services, performance, availability, and it is stable, and everything works together really well."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in Dropbox's security measures."
"Dropbox could improve by increasing its storage."
"The cost for gain is just not lined up with other business offerings."
"2 Gb of free space and then a not so cheap subscription (also if the competitors have similar proposals for customers)."
"A room for improvement in Dropbox is document editing. It would be nice to have the functionality of editing the document with other people at the same time. This is something that can be done on Office 365, and it's a feature I'd like to see in the next release of Dropbox."
"It is difficult to set up. I'd rate the solution maybe a six or seven out of ten."
"The solution could be a bit less expensive. They should make the pricing more reasonable."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The price of licenses is high and should be improved."
"Right now, we don't have any monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A bigger discount for existing users would be appreciated."
"The pricing for non-corporations is expensive. They have raised their prices and have low storage capacity."
"My company makes monthly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product. I think it's a reasonably priced product."
"The amount of free space they provide is sufficient for me. However, if you want more space I don't believe is very expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"We pay a monthly subscription fee."
"I need to pay towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. The solution is expensive."
"You pay as you go, which is a good thing. There is a monthly fee, and you can also pay annually. This flexibility makes the subscription easier and affordable for some of us. I prefer yearly pricing, which is also slightly cheaper than monthly pricing."
